The Wonderful Century Reader: Its Successes And Its Failures is a book written by Alfred Russel Wallace and published in 1898. The book is a collection of essays that explore the successes and failures of the 19th century. Wallace was a prominent naturalist, explorer, and biologist who co-discovered the theory of evolution through natural selection with Charles Darwin. The essays in the book cover a wide range of topics, including science, technology, politics, economics, and social issues. Wallace examines the major achievements of the century, such as the development of the steam engine, the telegraph, and the telephone, as well as the advances in medicine and public health. He also discusses the rise of democracy and the growth of the middle class, as well as the struggles for women's rights and workers' rights.However, Wallace also acknowledges the failures of the century, such as the exploitation of natural resources and the negative impact of industrialization on the environment. He also critiques the colonialism and imperialism that characterized the era, as well as the inequalities and injustices that persisted despite the progress made.Overall, The Wonderful Century Reader provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the 19th century, highlighting both its achievements and its shortcomings.
